Flood Street Carousel

A breakfast pitstop for children of all ages, Flood Street Carousel is an eatery full of laughter and chatter. The all-day brunch menu with a Middle Eastern influence features dishes with haloumi and dukkah while the fruit and vegetables are sourced fresh from local markets. Meals can be made to takeaway, but the colourful fit out and warm customer service will have you fighting for a table.

Creek and Cella

No matter how you spent your morning, Creek & Cella is a suitable afternoon retreat. The wine bar is best enjoyed in the later sun-kissed hours, with sliced to order charcuterie and cheese accompanying organic wines, locally sourced beer and classic cocktails. For those a little more peckish, the locally sourced seasonal menu has a range of share plates and solo meals.

Grappa Ristorante e Bar

Leichhardt is the Sydney home of Italian, and Grappa is one of its many kitchens. With a southern and northern Italian menu of both fresh and hearty dishes, it has something for everyone. From grilled scampi and yellow fin tuna carpaccio to brown butter sage ravioli, seafood is at the heart of their menu. An excellent dinner spot between a big group of friends or the family, and a long lunch doesn’t disappoint here either.
